Does the whole thing still blow up if someone clicks a mine? Seems ripe for griefers, but I couldn't bring myself to do it!

No it looks like it's all score based so you get points for correctly flagging mines and lose for incorrect flags and hitting bombs.

Yes - this in no way conveys productivity when full screen on a thunderbolt display.

Does it convey productivity when full screen on a HDMI display?

Very little productivity will _ever_ be conveyed if you're stuck using a low-res HDMI display connection!

Yes, but why is that an issue?

I love it when people put a modern twist on a ubiquitous game like this. I'm reminded of http://bombermine.com (no longer up?), a massively multiplayer Bomberman clone. Personally, I've tried to modernize Solitare with http://solitaire.gg , but haven't figured out a way to make it massively multiplayer yet...
